History: (Avengers: The Initiative#12) - Freedom
Force, joined by their newest recruit, recent Camp Hammond graduate Cloud 9,
saved the inhabitants of a burning building in Billings, Montana.

(Avengers: The Initiative#18) - When confronted by the
remnants of the Skrull Kill Krew and a ragtag group of Initiative heroes,
Equinox revealed himself as a Skrull, injuring Challenger and Think Tank. He
quickly defeated Spinner and the other heroes, before being shot in the head by
Cloud 9. Spinner and Cloud 9 joined up with the others to purge the
Initiative of Skrulls, leaving Challenger and Think Tank for the paramedics.

Challenger seems to be the leader of Freedom Force - the
Initiative entry in volume 5 of the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel
Universe A-Z hardcovers confirms this.. He
doesn't show up in #18, but Cloud 9 refers to her wounded "teammates", plural,
so Challenger was presumably there off-panel.

Think Tank should team up with Martha Johansson and the
"Belgian Brain" to form, like, Disembodied Floating Brain Force.

(Avengers: The Initiative#18 (fb)) - At some
point in time, a Super-Skrull abducted and replaced
Terry Sorenson. This Skrull was
chosen by Criti Noll, a Super-Skrull impersonating Yellowjacket, to be a member
of Montana's Initiative team.

(Avengers: The Initiative#12) - "Equinox" used his ice powers
to cool the flames of a burning building.

(Avengers: The Initiative#18) - Exposed by the Skrull Kill
Krew and a motley crew of Initiative operatives, the Equniox impersonator
assumed his true form and disabled Challenger and Think Tank. He froze
Ryder, Riot, and Hardball in a slab of ice, threw Spinner into Nonstop, and
exploded his ice-slab to injure Jocasta, Gravity, and Komodo. Striking
down the 3-D Man, he had all of his attackers at his mercy, until he was killed
by a sniper shot from Cloud 9.

In addition to his Skrull shapeshifting powers, the Equinox
impersonator also possessed the abilities of Spider-Man, Iceman, and Firestar.

(Avengers: The Initiative#12) - Currently in possession of
super-strength, Spinner held up the collapsing building, but found herself
affected by the heat, as she had been in possession of superhuman endurance the
day before.

(Avengers: The Initiative#18) - Initially overwhelmed by the
revelation of a Skrull in their midst, Spinner soon turned her speed power
against the Equinox impersonator, but was thrown into Nonstop. With the
Skrull defeated by Cloud 9, Spinner joined her and the other heroes in
journeying to Philadelphia, where they battled the Skrull which had infiltrated
the Liberteens as the Revolutionary, recruiting Whiz Kid in the process.
They next ventured to Georgia, where they defeated the Thor Girl impersonator of
the Cavalry. Moving on to South Dakota, Spinner, Whiz Kid, and Nonstop
were given explosives and sent to destroy the Negative Zone gates of every
Initiative base in order to prevent the Skrulls from destroying the planet.

(Avengers: The Initiative#19) - After assisting the
Spaceknights battle Skrulls in Chicago, Spinner met up with Whiz Kid, then sped
to Hawaii, where she found a small army of Skrull soldiers. Her
twenty-four hours up, she gained the power of flight, but was unable to reach
the Initiative base. In desperation, she activated her explosives and blew
herself up along with the Skrulls. Unfortunately, one dying Skrull was
able to activate the Negative Zone gate before expiring.

Spinner rotated through a set of superpowers, receiving a
different one every twenty-four hours. At the end of that day, she lost that power and
received a new one.
These powers have included superhuman strength, endurance, speed (which she
received only infrequently), and flight.

(Avengers: The Initiative#12) - Think Tank levitated the
occupants of a burning building in Billings, Montana to safety, despite the heat
causing him some discomfort.

(Avengers: The Initiative#18) - Think Tank's braincase was
shattered by the Skrull who had replaced Equinox. Gravity took him away
from the scene of the battle, but was left for the paramedics with Challenger.
